USA: Supreme Court approves toughening election law in Arizona

Of the Supreme Court United States Tightens electoral law in the state Arizona Legally declared. Democrats have filed lawsuits against the Republican-ruled government. In his opinion, the rules make voting more difficult, thus affecting members, especially minorities and blacks.

However, a majority of the six Conservative Supreme Court judges rejected the argument, according to a ruling released Thursday. It states that the related Arizona law has not been passed “with the intent of racial discrimination.” Voting in Arizona is generally much easier. However, a minority of three more Liberal judges considered these rules to be unconstitutional.

Competing suffrage

In the United States, the right to vote, often designed by states, is highly competitive. Many Republicans have already passed the rules or are following the rules that critics believe are difficult to vote for. When voting barriers are high, minority groups tend to stay at home in the United States – and these people are often more likely to vote for Democrats. Republicans, on the other hand, argue that their reforms will only exacerbate election fraud. However, this is very rare in the United States – sometimes punishable by lengthy imprisonment.

President of the United States Joe Biden “Very disappointed” considering the court’s ruling. Biden noted the differences between Liberal Judge Elena Gagan and the verdict, which affirmed “significant racial discrimination.” His government will continue to work for democracy that reflects the will of all citizens.

Biden’s Democrats are trying to get a nationwide election law through Congress to make voting more difficult. The plan has so far failed because Republicans have besieged minorities in the Senate. “Our democracy depends on it,” Biden wrote on Twitter.

Arizona had two rules in the case before the Supreme Court. Accordingly, the votes of citizens voting in a polling station not reserved for them are considered invalid. Another rule prohibits politicians and activists from collecting ballots to keep them closed at the polls.
